We all have been invited to potlucks organized by local churches where food and much laughter can be punctuated with some awkward moments. Going to a potluck gathering can be challenging simply because you just never know what you are going to bite into. Everything looks different than what we are used to. For instance: what we are accustomed to when we think of an apple pie can look completely different from what someone else brought. It might have the same ingredients but it sure does not have the familiar look that we are so at ease with. It takes risk to dig into something so strange looking, making us feel like we are now venturing into an uncharted culinary territory, just as when Indiana Jones was staring down into the pit of snakes. But we have heard that building relationship takes risk, and so it is with potlucks.
